TestMeOnline rebrands to focus:progress and introduces new RDR functionality

release date: 06/09/2010

Focus Solutions, the leading provider of multi-channel distribution solutions to the financial services industry, is pleased to announce the re-brand of TestMeOnline to focus:progress, to signal an exciting six month development roadmap for the product.

From today TestMeOnline will be re-branded as focus:progress to better reflect the wider functionality that has been available within the product for some time.  Furthermore, a six month development roadmap will see its features further extended, including  enhancements to the content in line with RDR requirements and contemporary system developments for the modern financial planning firm. 

The new version of the system will be rolled out in three phases, with the first delivery of focus:progress including updated questions and workbooks in line with the new RDR ApEx Standards. In addition the solution will allow firms more flexibility to weight assessments towards application based questions for testing an employee’s capability “on the job” as well as new features for building and maintaining supervisory forms to support activities such as 1:1’s and observations.

Mark Ehlinger, Head of Financial Services Training for Focus Solutions comments, “I’m excited about the development roadmap we’ve undertaken with focus:progess which not only fulfills the needs of the RDR but sees the product transform into a complete personal development solution for financial services professionals. With this significant evolution of the solution, it was also felt that the name TestMeOnline no longer reflected its full capabilities and I am delighted that we have chosen focus:progress instead, to launch the next phase of this product.
